Good Morning Family......it is Thursday for most of us, yes we have seen a bit of activity in the night, so let's get right to that:

The CBI restarted the website and it would appear that on the outside things are back to normal. Remember this though, just because we cannot see outward change, does not mean they are not prepared inwardly for great change.

Also, according to Delta during the night, there has not been an update on the Arabic side. As you go and peer at the CBI website remember to stay grounded and know that God remains in control of all we do. Under "News and Announcements" there is a link to a "Tender Advertisement (1/2014) the first for 2014, that sounds like a bid for contract work.

As for the budget, there seems to be a mixed batch of news, we know the Parliament has it now, the question that remains is can they pass it?

There is talk of delays in passing the budget, due to the differences between Baghdad and the Kurds, there is talk that the budget will be passed within 10 days.....Read More Link on Right

There is also talk of the Kurds forming an alliance with the Iraqi List to not pass the budget......there are many options it seems that they have at this time. The last that I listed is the least favorable as this would affect all of Iraq in a detrimental way. Time will tell us what is going to occur.

There is still half of January to see a change come about Family. This is not a time to become negative. We are a Family remember, we will weather the storm together. On this day, Family, remember to breathe in the good air, breathe out the bad air....Let God know that You know He is in control, and that this day holds many blessings. I see many activities that have occurred in the last month with Iraq that are good, very good, and in paraphrasing NOVA, these things are happening now for a reason, they are positive events, the world wants to see Iraq become stronger, for as they do the world itself is bolstered. *****************jdtolle » January 16th, 2014, Whatever you Think

If you think the whole world is against you, it might as well be true. If you think there’s a way to move successfully forward, you will find that way.

What you think about life plays a major role in the way your life unfolds. Whatever you think is going to happen will inform and influence each action you take, so that much of what you think does indeed happen.

If you think the task in front of you will be a tedious, boring chore, that’s what it will be. If you think the job will give you a unique opportunity to express yourself and create new value, it certainly will.

No matter what the reality of your life may be, you can choose exactly what to think about it. The more things you think about in a positive light, the more positive outcomes you will create.

If you generate thoughts of worry, criticism and complaint, you will end up creating even more things to worry, criticize and complain about. If you focus your thoughts on how to allow, encourage and enrich, you’ll find much more richness appearing in your life.

The thoughts you choose to think and hold are the same thoughts that influence every moment of your life. Choose wisely, and live magnificently.

Earlier this evening in chat a web developer (SCREENNAME HIGUY on the board) said when they update, it starts where it left off at. As far as the indicative date of today? It (the server) automatically does that when it updates. It was further mentioned that most likely rates have to be done by hand. Give it time."drakechap :Jack Lew Live - http://www.cfr.org/economics/conversation-jacob-j-lew/p32214Mrs. Jim: CL spoke Wednesday at National Press Club luncheon ..

[Jamison] sananddan24 There will be a street rate and a group rate , there has not been a 3rd added, if they helps [sananddan24] Jamison yes and ty [mbillions] Jamison So no China/USA rate? [Jamison] mbillions there will be a street rate and a group rate, and I assume most know who will be backing the group rate [mbillions] Jamison You would make a good politician... roflmao [Jamison] mbillions rather not talk about countries involved, it all goes thru the UST, and what the goverment does with all of theie assets to pay bills I believe will be in the best interest of our Nation [Jamison] fear not, you are not going to be in a position to pick your loyalty to your nation on which CE you choose for your family. [sananddan24] Jamison why are they telling people it's okay to cash out a. Small amount for reserves [Jamison] sananddan24 I will give a piece of it, banks and bankers get promoted and earn money on performance, there is a organized group that is huge, and the steps they explain will default people to street rate, then the bank gets more money , and they also are trying to scare people from the group to get customers [Jamison] Its been covered alot, if you want the premium group rate, DO NOT cash anything out prior to your exchange or until specific protocals are explained when it happens. Very simple, [Jamison] sananddan24 If people are such in a hurry when it happens, and get impatient, then I fear they will leave a lot on the table. The info has been explained, now its up to individuals to make correct decisions for their families [Bear'sOpenHeart] Jamison Exactly I agree with that , that we should wait until we get something in the email ,that may clarify what is going to happen ...
